Chancey Williams To Bring His Wild Costume Party To Deadwood!
(Deadwood, SD) If you attend school at the University of Wyoming or if you’ve been to Laramie much in recent years, you probably know all about the annual alter-ego party Chancey Williams throws, called “White Trash Bash!” Now the fast-rising country star has decided to bring the event to the regional party headquarters of Deadwood on October 30. Deadwood Mountain Grand announced this afternoon that Chancey Williams: White Trash Bash will go on sale Monday August 30, produced by A Rorey Lemmel Bucker.
“Every time Chancey Williams has been here, it has been a huge party,” commented Deadwood Mountain Grand General Manager Susan Kightlinger, “but this takes it to a whole new level.” The big costume party coincides with the annual Deadweird celebration in the historic Black Hills town.
“It’s no secret we like to party,” said Chancey Williams, “and when we heard we could take our crazy ‘White Trash Bash,’ to Deadwood for Halloween, well, who wouldn’t want to do that?” The popular singer/songwriter, who grew up on a ranch in nearby Moorcroft, WY said fans can expect a fun show, “We want everyone come dressed up in their own version of what a White Trash Bash means to them. The Deadwood Mountain Grand crew will too. I’m going to do my best to get Susan in costume and maybe even Rorey Lemmel.”
Tickets to Chancey Williams: White Trash Bash go on sale Monday at Deadwood Mountain Grand and Ticketmaster.

Deadwood Mayor Designates August 2nd "Dale Morris Day" In Deadwood
DEADWOOD, S.D. (08/02/21) – The City of Deadwood and Deadwood Historic Preservation held a recognition luncheon for Dale Morris and family, owners of Deadwood Mountain Grand Resort on Monday, August 2nd.
The luncheon was to celebrate the donation of a Conservation Easement on approximately five and half acres of land adjacent to the Homestake Mining Company’s Slime Plant, home to Deadwood Mountain Grand. The donation will protect in perpetuity this significant land parcel overlooking historic downtown by never allowing commercial development on the property.
Deadwood Mayor David Ruth presented Morris with a proclamation declaring Monday, August 2nd, Dale Morris Day in Deadwood. The proclamation states that “Dale Morris, owner of Deadwood Mountain Grand believes the recreational and aesthetic opportunities offered by leaving the land in its natural state far outweigh any monetary opportunities from development.”
The Morris family understands the recreational and aesthetic opportunities of leaving the land in its natural state. “We are dedicated to the communities of Deadwood and Lead,” said Zack Morris, Morris’s grandson. “It is only fitting that all who ‘hit the trail’ have full access to the property to enjoy an uninterrupted view of all the hills surrounding the historic district.”
Deadwood’s Historic Preservation Officer, Kevin Kuchenbecker, said the easement will help maintain Deadwood’s historic character for generations to come. “The Historic Preservation Commission has been working for several years to protect the viewshed surrounding the National Historic Landmark. This is a significant step in securing Deadwood’s preservation future.”
Deadwood Mayor Dave Ruth echoes Kuchenbecker’s statement. “The City is extremely thankful to the Morris family’s commitment to Deadwood through the donation of this Conservation Easement which has a lasting, long-term preservation impact.”
In a brief statement following the Mayor’s proclamation, Morris said the donation is a “win-win” for both the community and Deadwood Mountain Grand. He added that he was “humbled” by the designation.
Deadwood Mountain Grand General Manager Susan Kightlinger believes the agreement shows the dedication to community by the Morris family. “Deadwood Mountain Grand is a family-owned business, with a culture that encourages giving back,” said Kightlinger. “We have a commitment to our staff and the community to do what’s right for Deadwood.”
Deadwood Mountain Grand Hotel, a Holiday Inn Resort is the newly restored 1906 Homestake Mining Co. ore processing plant that overlooks Historic Deadwood, which features a 98-room luxury hotel, 210 state-of-the-art casino games, high stakes gaming action, a 2,500 seat entertainment and event center and a multi-level parking garage.
Koe Wetzel Will Give Us ‘Something To Talk About’ When He Rocks Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (06/28/21) – Some artists break one or two rules. Koe Wetzel breaks pretty much all of them, and he’ll be bringing his wild and raucous show to Deadwood Mountain Grand on Wednesday, November 17th.
The Texas-born singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer kicks out hard rock hooks with a twang bred in rough and tumble dives, yet meant for stadium stages. For as much as he unapologetically trail blazes between grunge, country, Americana, and damn near everything else under the sun, this maverick broke through the old-fashioned way—he busted his ass.
Since 2015, he has quietly sold over 200,000 units independently, cranked out 100 million streams and views, and went from playing bars with chicken wire in front of the stage to hosting and headlining his own packed-to-the-gills “Koe Wetzel’s Incredible Music Festival” surrounded by fireworks and thousands of screaming fans.
On his third album and debut for Columbia Records, Koe continues to set the rulebook on fire by simply being himself. “We live what we write, man,” he exclaims. “I don’t make anything up. Everything I’m singing is true. Authenticity is the most important thing to me. All of the music is me.”
He began “living” music as a kid. Hailing from Pittsburg, TX, he accompanied mom as she performed on the Opry circuit. As they went town-to-town, he watched his mother belt out country classics from the side of the stage. Grandpa introduced him to Creedence Clearwater Revival. Meanwhile, dad bumped hip-hop gems from The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, and 50 Cent. In addition to listening to Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, George Jones, and Willie Nelson, he developed a passion for alternative rock.
In eighth grade, a cousin shared an iPod playlist and opened Koe’s eyes to Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. “I turned into a rock head,” he smiles. He dusted off an old guitar received as a Christmas gift and quickly came to a key realization. “I figured out you could get girls easier,” he recalls. In between performing, he played football as a linebacker for his high school and eventually Tarleton State University. Even with the 5am practices, he spent all night writing, jamming, and recording. After an ankle injury and subsequent six month-hiatus, he dropped out of college in his sophomore year and went all-in for his career.
Within eighteen months of throwing down four-nights-a-week around Texas and Oklahoma, shows began to sellout. Koe’s 2017 debut Noise Complaint became a phenomenon powered by “February 28, 2016” [19.2 million Spotify streams], “Something To Talk About”[15 million Spotify streams], “Love” [12.9 million Spotify streams], “Fuss & Fight” [11.9 million Spotify streams], and more.
Mind you, he managed to pull this off without a label, agent, or traditional structure to speak of. “We did everything on our own,” he goes on. “We also like to get drunk and have a good time, so me being arrested a couple of times probably helped out a bit,” he laughs.
The momentum continued with 2019’s Harold Saul High and its singles “Ragweed” and “Forever” as more sold-out shows ensued. Following a relentless grind, he surprise-released the 2020 anthem “Kuntry & Wistern,” which exploded right out of the gate trending on Apple Music and garnering praise from The Boot who wrote “Wetzel has earned a reputation as one of the Lone Star State’s most high-energy and engaging performers.” Soon after, Koe inked a deal with Columbia Records.
As usual, he pulls no punches with the hook, “I think I’ve lost my mind, at least that’s what you told me,” over a palm-muted clean guitar. “I’ve always listened to a big variety of artists, and that inspires me to this day,” he continues. “I might be creating lyrics in a hip-hop sense, chords in a rock sense, and melodies in a country way. All of those elements combine within the process of making music.”
That inimitable style shines on the single “Sundy or Mundy.” A bass groan gives way to vivid verses before the chorus climbs over a wall of distortion and a guitar lead rings out. “It’s about losing your mind,” he explains. “When you’re sitting there in the studio, you can forget what day it is. It was written from the same perspective. You get delirious and numb to the whole situation. It’s got a gritty and heavy sound, but the choruses go down smooth and steady.”
As he smashes more rules, Koe Wetzel emerges as the outlaw the 21st century needed all along. “Whatever you’re going through, I want to help you go through it,” he leaves off. “I know I’m not the only one who feels the way I do. I hope maybe this helps you build a better life. When I’m onstage, it’s carefree. There’s not a worry in the world. I don’t think about my troubles or what’s going on in my life. It’s just about the music and the fans. You don’t need anything else.”

‘Ladies Love Country Boys’ – Trace Adkins To Play Deadwood Mountain Grand
DEADWOOD, S.D. (05/10/21) – Celebrate Veteran’s Day with a country music legend when Trace Adkins brings his high energy show to Deadwood Mountain Grand on Thursday, November 11th.
A Nashville icon for more than two decades, Trace Adkins has made his mark on the country music industry. 11 million albums sold. Time-honored hit singles. Momentous, fiery and always memorable live performances. GRAMMY nominations. CMT and ACM awards. Nearly 200 million plays on YouTube. Hell, even a slew of movie and TV roles have come the Grand Ole Opry member’s way.
But ask Adkins what’s left to prove in his career and the small-town Louisiana native says it’s simple: the itch remains. To create. To collaborate. To continually feel the excitement that comes after whipping up a new song out of thin air and laying it down to tape. It’s what, after all these years, he says he still craves. “It’s an adrenaline rush and I love it,” says Adkins, who is back in the studio working on a new project, his Ain’t That Kind Of Cowboy EP, released. “There’s nothing else like that,” the Louisiana naive offers. “That is still my favorite thing to do in this business. Go into the studio with some lyrics and a melody and then let the finest musicians in the world help turn it into something magical. It liberates me. I just dig it!”
Working with some of Nashville’s most respected songwriters, Adkins continues to find ways to connect with his fans through music while recording what he describes as autobiographical songs. “Over the years people have asked me, ‘How could we get to know you?’ Well, if you really wanted to know who Trace Adkins is, go back and listen to the album cuts on the records I’ve done over my career. Those are the songs that reflect where I was in my head at the time I made that record.”
It’s an interesting change of perspective for Adkins, however, when he hits the road for a slew of his now legendary live gigs. Where the studio offers unique insight into his current state of mind, onstage—when revisiting his classics like “You’re Gonna Miss This” or “Every Light in the House” nearly every evening, he says he’s taken back, if only for a brief while, to earlier moments in his life.
“It’s hard to describe, I gotta be honest,” he says of being overcome with emotion and reflection when trotting out some of his time-tested cuts for adoring audiences. “I’ve gotten to the point now where I’ll be onstage singing ‘Every Light in the House Is On’ and I look down at the crowd and realize that person right there wasn’t even alive when I recorded that song,” he says, laughing. “To watch their face go, Oh, that’s a cool hook, it’s like, ‘Oh my god, that’s the first time that person ever heard that song!’”
Adkins says he’s profoundly touched that he serves as an inspiration to a younger generation of country artists, much in the way he revered icons like Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard when he first moved to Nashville. “I want to be in that position,” he says of taking the reigns as an elder statesman of the genre. “I want to be looked at that way. I want those guys to know they can walk up to me and ask me anything and know I’m here for them and I’ll help them however I can. I relish that position.”
With one million followers on Spotify and over one billion spins on Pandora (10 million spins per month), the longstanding country icon has yet to lose any of his trademark passion and killer instinct for his craft. The 58-year-old is as fired up as ever to be back on the road this year, taking his music to the fans once again. “I get a kick out of it. I still enjoy the camaraderie, the band of brothers, your crew and your band. I’m an old jock. I like team sports,” he says of his continued passion for touring. “I like it when the new guy is closing for me, and we turn it up a notch or two and just absolutely kick his ass. You go out and put a boot in somebody’s ass!”
Ask Adkins where he goes from here and he’ll say it’s quite simple: keep doing what he knows and loves. Performing. Creating. Inspiring. He loves it. And, he adds, he knows so many of his lifelong fans, and new ones to boot, do too. “I’m gonna go out there and find those people,” he says with genuine enthusiasm for the coming months. “I’m gonna bring a band and turn it up real loud! And we’re gonna have a good time!”
Tickets go on sale for Deadwood Mountain Grand Rewards Members on Tuesday, May 11th and to the general public on Friday, May 14th. They will be available at the Deadwood Mountain Grand Box Office – The Spotlight Store – or at ticketmaster.com. Both hotel reservations and ticket arrangements may be made by calling 877-907-GRAND.

Deadwood Mountain Grand Ownership Donating Conservation Easement
DEADWOOD, S.D. (04/29/21) – Dale Morris, owner of Deadwood Mountain Grand Resort in historic Deadwood, SD has agreed to donate a Conservation Easement on approximately five and half acres of land to preserve and protect the historic and natural integrity of land within Deadwood’s National Historic Landmark. Adjacent to the Homestake Mining Company’s Slime Plant home to Deadwood Mountain Grand, this donation will protect in perpetuity this significant land parcel overlooking historic downtown.
The Morris family understands the recreational and aesthetic opportunities of leaving the land in its natural state. “Deadwood is the trailhead of the highly rated Mickelson Trail in the heart of the Black Hills as well as having the distinction of being designated a National Historic Landmark,” said Zack Morris, Morris’s grandson. “It is only fitting that all who ‘hit the trail’ have full access to the property and those visiting Deadwood have an uninterrupted view of all the hills surrounding the historic district.”
The designation currently awaiting approval by the Historic Preservation Commission and City Commission, offers the city a legal agreement that permanently limits uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. According to a document provided by the Historic Preservation Office, the agreement will ‘help preserve the natural environment while protecting the scenic, historic, and small city character while emphasizing and preserving the community’s historic past for future generations.’
Deadwood’s Historic Preservation Officer, Kevin Kuchenbecker, believes the easement will help maintain Deadwood’s historic character for generations to come. “The Historic Preservation Commission has been working for several years to protect the viewshed surrounding the National Historic Landmark. This is a significant step in securing Deadwood’s preservation future.”
Deadwood Mayor Dave Ruth echoes Kuchenbecker’s statement. “The City is extremely thankful to the Morris family’s commitment to Deadwood through the donation of this Conservation Easement which has a lasting, long-term preservation impact.”
The property to be donated is currently zoned for commercial use and is adjacent to four residential properties as well as Deadwood Mountain Grand Resort. The Conservation Easement would prevent development of the land in perpetuity, which according to a statement from the Deadwood Historic Preservation office ‘would maintain the property’s cultural, historical, archaeological, natural, scenic and recreational characteristics and in particular, maintaining the property free from new structures, alteration or changes that would encroach upon, damage or destroy the property and the Deadwood National Historic Landmark District.’
Deadwood Mountain Grand General Manager Susan Kightlinger believes the agreement shows the dedication to community by the Morris family. “Deadwood Mountain Grand is a family-owned business, with a culture that encourages giving back,” said Kightlinger. “We have a commitment to our staff and the community to do what’s right for Deadwood.”

Country music fans of all ages are welcome. Tickets on sale Friday, February 18th at DeadwoodMountainGrand.com.
About Parker McCollum
A singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and dedicated road warrior, Parker McCollum began building a following in his native Texas with 2015's The Limestone Kid. The album track "Meet You in The Middle" became a hit on Texas' regional radio chart — no small feat for an independent, 22-year-old musician — but it was the album's widelyacclaimed follow-up, Probably Wrong, that helped Parker find national success. Compared to John Mayer and Jason Isbell by Rolling Stone, Parker supported the album with a string of sold-out shows, bringing record-breaking crowds to venues like San Angelo's RiverStage and two sold-out Billy Bob’s along the way.
Born in Conroe, TX, and currently based in Austin, the 28-year-old entrepreneurially-spirited artist bridges the gap between Texas' homegrown music scene and Nashville's country-industry headquarters. His songwriting, which has been hailed by The Austin Chronicle for "carrying on the traditions of Texas music without 2018 and a recording deal with Universal Music Group Nashville in June 2019.
Parker just released his new EP, Hollywood Gold, which is named after a horse his grandfather owned decades ago. Hollywood Gold includes Parker’s debut single “Pretty Heart” which has already cracked Top 10 on the country radio chart averaging almost 4 Million streams a week and was recently certified Gold. Parker has been named an artist to watch by Rolling Stone, Billboard, SiriusXM, CMT and more with American Songwriter noting, “The Texas native teeters on the edge of next-level superstardom, taking cues from rule breakers like Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves. 2020 will be his long-overdue breakout”
About Chancey Williams
Saddle bronc rider turned neo-traditional country music sensation, Chancey Williams has gone from competing on horseback to performing on center stage at major rodeos, festivals, and venues throughout the United States. The only artist besides Chris LeDoux to both ride and perform on stage at the world’s largest outdoor rodeo, known as "The Daddy of ‘Em All," Cheyenne Frontier Days, Williams is the next authentic cowboy of country music.
Growing up on a ranch in the Cowboy State, Chancey learned the cowboy-way-of-life from his father, and like his dad, found himself a successful bronc rider, qualifying for the National High School Rodeo Finals, twice at the College National Finals and winning two rounds at Cheyenne Frontier Days.
Chancey embodies the western lifestyle to such an extent that he’s the first and only singer/songwriter to be endorsed by CINCH®. On an impressive roster of the world’s top rodeo athletes, Williams’ sits as the sole musicrelated endorsement deal.
Chancey Williams debuted his highly anticipated new album, 3RD STREET, at no. 5 on the iTunes Country Albums chart. Produced by country music hitmaker, Trent Willmon, the full-length album is sure to resonate with country music fans of all ages. Williams co-wrote eight of the album’s tracks from the reminiscent throwback tune “College,” to upbeat anthems like “The World Needs More Cowboys” and “Tonight We’re Drinkin’” to raw, stripped-down ballads like “Let It Go.” The magic of 3RD STREET really shines through on the band's brilliant remake of iconic Dan Seals & Marie Osmond duet "Meet me in Montana," featuring Brooke Latka.
